i'm really glad you guys have the newest sterns and i hope you keep buying them. we need to support stern. no matter what, no matter how crappy the games are. that's just the way it is right now. because they are the last thing standing. if anyone else can figure out a way to make a decent game, even one every few years, and get it out there, that would be awesome, and it would give us some options-- hopefully by supporting a competitor's great game, stern would see that they have the option to do something else and make some changes. but if stern folds now because of lack of support, people won't blame the game designs-- they'll say the death of pinball has been coming for a long time, they were killed off by video games, and that their days have passed. no one wants to look at the dumb management choices of the major pinball companies and admit that pinball COULD still be thriving, and people DO have an interest in the game.
anyway-- i'll put quarters in new games, just to keep pinball afloat. a lot of the games end up with a following after they've been around a while, and after a code update.
